9. several important advantages It is easier to clean since there are no square indentations for powder and copper lead fouling to accumulate in When compared to cut rifling polygon rifling does not deform the projectile as much when the barrel grips it during passage down the bore This increases accuracy because a more deformed bullet does not fly as accurately as a less deformed bullet The polygon rifling also lets less of the expanding gasses blow by actually around the projectile This is because of the inherently tighter fit of the angle of the barrel to the projectile Velocity is higher with a polygon rifled barrel versus a cut rifled barrel all other variables length etc being equal The side benefit of this higher velocity is greater energy from the same round from a Glock barrel versus a traditional barrel Glock barrels receive the Tenifer finish both inside and out This finish allows them to have a much longer than normal barrel life Ed Note A firearms writer of some repute Chuck Taylor has completed an over 75 000 round test on a Glock 17 At the end of the test the Glock was still shooting average groups of less than 3 inches with all types of ammunition from a ransom rest at 35 meters This is astounding barrel life Most pistols have no rifling by the throat after 10 or 15 thousand rounds 16 Glocks Sights The Glock pistols use either a standard Polymer Sight fixed or adjustable or a fixed metallic Trijic

13. 2 Introduction All Glock pistols are a product of modern technology incorporating many innovative design features which result in ease of operation extreme reliability simple function reduced maintenance durability and light weight Mr Gaston Glock was the first person to successfully produce a polymer handgun receiver and marry it to a strong all steel slide and barrel In addition to new materials and manufacturing methods the Glock pistol has an action which combines the best characteristics of the traditional double and single action pistols creating what has become known as the Safe Action system Safe simple operation reliability and accuracy were primary design criteria To achieve safety with simplicity three independent safeties sequentially disengage as the pistol s trigger is pulled to its rear most position These safeties automatically reset themselves once the shooter removes his finger from the trigger Glock pistols combine the safety and simplicity of revolver like operation with a constant double action trigger pull high magazine capacity rapid recovery and the reduced recoil of a modern semi automatic pistol Maintenance of the Glock is extremely simple and straightforward A unique feature of the Glock pistol is that all parts generally are interchangeable within the same model no hand fitting filing or polishing is required or advised The polymer frame provides several advantages It is lightweight rus

55. s The slide on Glock pistols can physically only come off of the pistol towards the muzzle The original Glock magazines were purposely designed to not drop free during reloading so that they would be removed by hand and not lost on the battlefield during combat remember this pistol was designed for military duty The American market wanted drop free magazines so they were created for us Now there are no more of the older design for sale in the USA The polymer frame is completely solid and functional from negative 65 degrees to 400 degrees Fahrenheit Note If the pistol isn t operable you won t be either Ed The lines on the breech face are created when the breach face is broach cut and formed Glock found it did not affect function in any way so the breech face was never polished out by hand which would add to the cost of the pistol The Glock 9mm models 17 and 19 have only 33 parts the other pistols have 34 they add a reinforcing pin through the locking block This is less than half the number of components versus most comparable duty pistols Fewer parts means fewer things to go wrong everything else being equal This follows my premise of Keep It Simple Stupid It takes approximately 80 seconds to injection mold the lower receiver of a Glock pistol It takes approximately 8 hours for a single billet of carbon steel to be made into a Glock slide by a CNC machine All Glocks come into the US and are distributed
